Don Juan 03-014
Canto the Third

XIV

Let not his mode of raising cash seem strange,
     Although he fleeced the flags of every nation,
For into a prime minister but change
     His title, and 't is nothing but taxation;
But he, more modest, took an humbler range
     Of life, and in an honester vocation
Pursued o'er the high seas his watery journey,
And merely practised as a sea-attorney.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
